Broken Box of Spiders

Broken Box of Spiders

A Poem by Leslie Philibert
"

Spiders or the past

"
Why should I care about the past ?
a broken box of spiders.
Why should I admire such a lot of paint ?
rain is just a lot of water, the sun a light
that is thin in winter, and the rest expected -
comfortable and lazy to the eye.
Let me climb out of a ditch next to a road,
sniff the night air, a damaged seed.

i like how you ask yourself questions. though there doesn't seem to be an answer to them
"rain is just a lot of water" i like that.

Some things we wish we could just forget as they are unpleasant like spiders can be. Powerful imagery in this poem. Things and situations not so nice. I enjoyed your poem.

this is gritty, intense and beautiful all at the same time...very cleverly written and brilliantly expressed.

So many questions but then as Emily said it is so right. Always questions never answers. Superb piece.
